SUMMARY:Moomin Valley Park Opening | HANNO
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nFinally\, after years of delays and cancellations\, the Moomin Valley park IS OPENING! On March 16th 2019. The initial date of opening was supposed to be three years ago\, but they kept pushing it back. \n\n\n\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n\n\n\n\nMoomin Valley Park characters\n\n\n\nThere was a fear they would push it back again until Cafe Puisto opened in June 2018 as a precursor and promise of Moomin Valley opening within the near future. Then\, in Autumn of last year\, when they opened Metsa Village\, the “free” part of Moomin Valley\, we knew that this time things were looking good for a spring 2019 opening. \n\n\n\nAnd they have confirmed the date for the spring 2019 opening as March 16th. Tickets are already on sale for entry to the park for after that date\, but you can only buy tickets on the day for the March 16th opening. \n\n\n\nArtists sketch of the tree house play area\n\n\n\nAttractions in the park are few. They include a tree house play area\, live stage area and shopping / eating area. When you see it you’ll wonder why on earth it took them so long to complete it. Like Metsa\, the part that opened in Autumn\, it is more about the theme than the attractions within the park. This is no Disney or Universal Studios. Nor is it an amusement park. It is just a Moomin theme park with relaxation as its selling point – with an emphasis on “selling“! \n\n\n\nThe original and free Moomin Valley is at Akebono Children’s Forest. But over the last few years they’ve gone to great lengths to change that nickname to Tove Jansson’s Moomin Valley. I presume because they don’t want people mixing it up with Moomin Valley Park. \n\n\n\nThe two are quite a distance from each other on foot\, but you can drive between them in about ten minutes. THe original Moomin Valley aka Akebono Children’s Forest will remain free\, but Moomin Valley Park has a cover charge: \n\n\n\nMoomin Valley Park Cost\n\n\n\nThe entry ticket is 1000 yen for children from four years old and up. Children three years old and under can enter for free. The entry ticket for Moomin Valley park for adults costs 1\,500 yen. There are four main attractions that cost money. They range from 700 yen to 1\,500 yen per attraction. \n\n\n\nThe parking is the main expense at 100 yen for 10 minutes on a weekday. They introduced an upper cap\, possibly due to all the complaints online about how expensive the parking is. The upper cap for a weekday is 1\,800 yen. On the weekend it costs 500 yen for 30 minutes with an upper cap of 3\,000 yen. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArticles mentioned in this post: \n\n\n\nThe free Moomin Valley \n\n\n\n\n“Moomin Valley”\, Akebono Children’s Forest | HANNO\n\n\n\n\nThe initial post about Moomin Valley opening \n\n\n\n\nMetsa Moomin theme park coming to Saitama.\n\n\n\n\nCafe Puisto \n\n\n\n\nNew quirky and trendy cafe “Puisto” in Moomin Valley | HANNO\n\n\n\n\nMetsa Village \n\n\n\n\nMetsä Village opens | HANNO\n\nRelated articles: Shingashi River today | KAWAGOE Kitchen Cafe Cranbon | HIGASHIMATSUYAMA Yanasegawa Cherry Blossoms | SHIKI Mid March Sakura | SAKADO Cafe Terrace Lodgi | KAWAGOE Garden and Cafe Prunus | HIGASHIMATSUYAMA Visiting Ogose Bairin | OGOSE Saitama With Kids on TV!
